Oral and maxillofacial surgery specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of pathology or variations that affect the face including the oral region and jaws, treating conditions such as impacted third molars (wisdom teeth), dental implantes, TMJ, cysts and tumours of the jaws and orthognatic surgery.
If you are 20 years old, or older, and you don’t know if your wisdom teeth have erupted properly, it would be wise to consult with us in order to define if there’s any need for their removal. Sometimes wisdom teeth can cause serious problems (resorption of nearby roots, cysts, tumors, infection ) in the jaws without showing any symptoms.

Some of these procedures have to be complemented with orthodontic treatment to achieve completely the advantages of the treatment.
